SickKids Dreams and Discoveries Lottery Fundraising Program

Miratel Solutions has been providing non-profit organizations with fundraising services that assist with various fund development initiatives since 2000. One of the charities we proudly service is SickKids Foundation in support of its lottery fundraising programs.  SickKids Foundation was established in 1972 to help raise funds on behalf of The Hospital for Sick Children. The mission of the foundation is to: ‘inspire our communities to invest in health and scientific advances to improve the lives of children and their families in Canada and around the world.’

An incredible example of the extraordinary work being conducted at The Hospital for Sick Children is represented in the story of Iona. While Iona was still in her mother’s womb at 21 weeks, she was diagnosed with gastroschisis, an abdominal defect where the abdomen does not develop completely or correctly.  In a critical state, Iona was transferred immediately to The Hospital for Sick Children after being born.  There she had a long stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where she was treated, had surgery and could finally be held in her parent’s arms.  Today she is a healthy 3 year-old, one you would never suspect had ever been through this life-threatening ordeal.  Grateful to this day, her mother says: “I will forever be indebted to SickKids.  They saved her.”

As of fiscal year ending March 2011, the foundation has invested $57.9 million in child health research, learning and care at the hospital, while $4 million was invested in aiding national and international initiatives.  The hospital’s accomplishments include: identifying the genetic cause of 15% of children born with autism, discovering the gene for cystic fibrosis and resuscitating a dying child every 15 hours in the ER.
